Strang transmission noise

I pulled my engine and transmission out of my car a few weeks ago to paint the frame and firewall. Last weekend I put them back in and now there is a squeaking sound coming from the transmission. It sounds like a piece of rubber or plastic is rubbing on the driveshaft. Its related to vehicle sp

Handbrake Handle Assy

I'm not sure if these are gold plated or made of unobtanium, but I've got two Spits (66 Mk II and the 68 Mk III) along with a spare chassis and none of them have handbrake handle assemblies. Haven't been lucky enough to find any Spits in the local graveyards so I'm stumped in finding an assem

Sway Bar Knuckle

Can anyone on the list tell me the dimensions of the eye on the sway bar knuckle. I'm trying to source bushings for my TVR and I think the knuckles are identical. I just need inside diameter of the eye with no bushing and the length of the eye. TIA Chris Taylor 75 Spitfire(just sold) 74 TVR 2500M

Restorable Triumphs for Sale in mid MI

Recently came across guy who lives in my town (Midland, MI) who is relocating and has a host of Triumphs and MGBs as well as spares. He is very interested in selling all the cars intact (he doesn't have enough time to part them). I haven't seen the cars yet (will be doing so in a day or so) and

Ignition wiring question

Hi listers, I just picked up a 1970 GT6+ project with the column mounted ignition and was hoping someone might tell me if the wiring codes are the same as those found in MkIV or 1500 Spitfires. I don't have a GT6 manual or wiring diagram yet and I'm anxious to get the ignition wired so I can see

Center Arm Rest

Compliments of the Arizona sun and a good ol' Father Time, my (second) arm rest cushion & brake lever boot has begun to split. An armrest cover thru Spit Bits is $55USD, which seems a little pricey for such a simple item. Anyone have a used one in black or tan they want to part with? My car

Rear trunions and brakes?

Hello all, I am doing a little work on my cars rear suspension and have noticed that the rear trunions are very stiff. How freely should they pivot? I can move them, but not freely - takes a good bit of effort. The originals from my car and the low mileage ones from my parts car are all the sa

RE: Distributor Rattle 3

If you have the standard stromberg carb it has a bimetallic heat sensitive flap that rattles a lot at the front of the air filter box. Originally it looks like it had a thin rubber foam seal piece. Just replacing that may cure it as without the rubber the metal flap hits the metal housing. Bugg

Re: Distributor Rattle 3

Bummer you spent $$$ on a new distributor for nothing... To check the drive gear endfloat, simply remove the distributor and stick your finger down the hole and try to turn the gear. You should be able to turn it at least a little bit, until the slop in the cam-to-gear meshing is taken up. If it

Distributor Rattle 3

Well a new distributor didn't cure the rattle although the combination of the Mallory distributor, Pertronix Ignitor, and 8 mm spark plugwires seemed to make an improvement in performance. I'm thinking that I may have made a mistake in setting the endfloat when measuring for the gaskets for the pe
